Severity: normal
Subject: rubygems1.8: Can't build gems that don't have homepages
Package: rubygems1.8
Version: 1.3.2-1
Severity: normal
Rubygems refuses to build my gem:
$ gem build wordnet.gemspec
ERROR: While executing gem ... (NoMethodError)
undefined method `empty?' for nil:NilClass
$ cat wordnet.gemspec
Gem::Specification.new do |s|
s.name="WordNet"
s.author="Ken Bloom"
s.email="kbl...@gmail.com"
s.version="1.0.1"
s.summary="A binding to the WordNet C library"
s.require_path="ext"
#disabled because it spews lots of errors
#but the generated rdoc isn't useful in the least
s.has_rdoc=false
s.files += Dir["ext/*"]
s.extensions << "ext/extconf.rb"
end
Some tracing indicates that this is a bug at
/usr/lib/ruby/1.8/rubygems/specification.rb:886, which doens't check
to see whether the homepage field is null before calling .empty? on
it.
unless homepage.empty? or homepage =~ /\A[a-z][a-z\d+.-]*:/i then
raise Gem::InvalidSpecificationException,
"\"#{homepage}\" is not a URI"
end
Based on
http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-talk/337030, it
appears that this bug is fixed in rubygems 1.3.3.
(Adding an s.homepage="" to the gemspec works as a workaround, but
that shouldn't be required of projects that don't have a homepage.)
